Rigging Seminars -

By far our most-attended events of the year, the Tournament Cable Rigging Seminars cover a full range of topics, and address everything from the basic to the detailed. With a focus on Q&A and on the educational interests of the fishermen attending, these seminars are unique and tailored to the individuals attending. Guest captains and other industry leaders are often on hand to present as well. General topics covered include

Rigging Seminars are open to the public, but private seminars are available upon request for groups of 15 or more.

Kids Seminars -

This annual event is specifically for kids aged 5 - 13. A half-day seminar focused on the basics of offshore fishing, kids learn hands-on how to crimp and make daisy chains, how to rig a spreader bar, how to rig lures/stingers, how to tie a few basic knots, and how to rig a basic ballyhoo. SeaTow has partnered with us in this event the last few years to bring a boater safety presentation for the kids as well. Usually followed up by a pizza party for the attendees, this event arms kids with the knowledge and the gear to start their offshore fishing careers early, and gives kids the opportunity to actually make tackle they can then go out and use. Kids must be accompanied by a chaperone to help with the hands-on learning process. Clips from previous Kids Seminars can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIX2_2E93Nw and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqPaJE72s-4.

Private Kids Seminars are available throughout the year upon request, but at least 10 children must be registered and confirmed to be in attendance.

Open House -
Open Houses are held throughout the year, and though much more informal than the Rigging Seminars, Q&A remains a focus of the day. Attendees are also welcome to bring their own gear for help rigging, or just to use the facilities and tools. Usually coupled with coffee and donuts, Open Houses normally run from 8am - 1pm, and are a wonderful time to sit and visit with other area fishermen and exchange ideas, tips, techniques and fish stories.
